Mayock's take: "High-motor guy, tough guy. He'll fit in well in the Patriots' locker room. Another toy for coach Belichick to play with."

Overview

Bequette was a strong player for Arkansas, though his productivity could be attributed more to competitiveness and intelligence than great athleticism. He stood out as a leader and high-energy player for the Razorbacks. He had the strength to rush, set the edge and hold his ground in the run game, able to battle bigger linemen and go hard until the end of the play. He is a solid tackler around the ball and consistently pursues plays from the backside. His versatility across the line makes him a good value for NFL teams, especially those running a 3-4 defense. He will likely be taken in one of the later rounds.

Analysis

Strengths

Bequette is a strong run defender. He can set the edge well and fight off blocks. He gives it his all until the whistle blows. His size, length and running ability will be assets when tackling ball carriers in the NFL.

Weaknesses

Bequette is not the greatest athlete for his size and often gets lost when double-teamed. While strong in the run game, he is seldom a factor in the passing game. He needs to improve his rush technique and hands so that he can get through blocks and into the pocket. Bequette rarely plays as fast as his timed speed would indicate.
